Have A Go

[Sto]

Cathy, I got your private message and thought I should contribute something little...

This is something I wrote for a feature on the American elections in my college newspaper. Apologies in advance to any fans of George W or Tony Blair!

Four More Years

Four more years of fear:
The state uniting all the States
The terrorist alerts equate
To four more years of Bush.

Four more years of death:
Troops sacrificed to ensure
Oil supplies are maintained for
Four more years of Bush.

Four more years of the Right
Wronging World democracy
Washington bureaucracy
Wins four more years for Bush.

One more term of their alliance
Of Labour’s cowardly compliance
British voters should beware
Of four more years of Blair.

Oh and Cathy, I just wanted to add that I've been reading through soem of your writing today and I think it's really marvellous - you seem to be a pretty prolific writer I wonder if I'll be studying your work during my English uni course...?

[EmmMorriss]

Ok then Cathy, I'll try it...

Cheese

There once was a piece of cheese,

It was often seen swinging through trees,

It flew through the air,

Without any care,

And landed in a hive full of bees.

Epidemic long unfurled.

I feel the sights
and smell the taste
Of what once wasn't

Just
Toxic
Waste

And as tears fall
from the crying sky
I watch the people

Just
Passing
By

Watch their faces
Look for familiar places
But there's nothing left.

In this
Toxic
World

Epidemic long unfurled.

[Al Truest]

Excellent work.
